Correct answer

A. 907, 817, 573, 406, 371, 312, 68, 42, 22

Step-by-step solution

Here the rule followed is the numbers are getting arranged in descending order. Step I: The largest of the given numbers interchanges its place with the first number. [In case the largest number is already arranged, the second largest is interchanged with the number next to the largest and so on.] Step II: The same process as that of step I will happen here but in this step, nos. will be shifted rightwards instead of interchange.
